Digna favore simplicitas. Mittelalterliche Handschriften als Vorlage der neulateinischen Dichtungen des Johannes Campanus und seiner Schüler

Latin poets of the early modern period were fond of using prosaic models as themes in their work. The paper examines a unique group of poetic compositions inspired by manuscripts of medieval sermons of professors at the university in Prague. Inspiration was found in them also by Jan Campanus, a professor of history and poetry who encouraged his students to explore historical themes and engage in the study of sources and thus had a significant influence on their work.
